- The chief landlord in my district was named Standford. He lived for fifty years and was a tyrant on the people who did not pay their rents.
If the people could not pay their rents they were evicted and put out on the roadside - and some of them died with starvation and others went to England. If catholics were put out of their lands a protestant got their places and this man kept still watching to see another man evicted out of his land and then he got that place too and some of those men had fifty or sixty acres of land in the end.
